Blocked Tear Duct Natural Treatment 〈PREMIUM〉

A blocked tear duct (dacryostenosis) occurs when the fine passage connecting the eyes to the nasal cavity becomes narrowed or obstructed. This prevents tears from draining normally, leading to persistent watering, stickiness, and occasional discharge. While common in infants, adults can also experience this condition due to infection, injury, or age-related narrowing.

With clean fingertips, place your index finger at the inner corner of the eye (beside the nose). Apply gentle, downward pressure toward the nose, using a rolling or stroking motion. Repeat 5–10 times, twice daily.

Soak a soft cloth in warm (not hot) water, wring it out, and place it gently over the closed eye for 5–10 minutes, 2–4 times daily. This is particularly effective before performing massage or cleaning the eye area. 2. Tear Duct Massage (Crigler Massage) Gentle massage increases hydrostatic pressure in the tear sac, helping to rupture the thin membrane that often causes blockage in infants, and promoting drainage in adults by physically moving stagnant fluid.
